we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a direct variation the equation of the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

2y=5x+1 ----> this line not passes through the origin

therefore

<u>The answer is</u>

the equation does not represent a direct variation

It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2  + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2

Find the sum of the following series
vazorg [7]

Answer:

a) 820

b)450

c)  -540

d) -294

e) 1440

f) 1425

Step-by-step explanation:

a) it is an arithmetic progression with ratio=4

   a1=3,

     a2=3+r=3+4=7.....

    a20=a1+19r

so a20=3+19*4=3+76=79

S=(a1+an)*n/2 where n=20

so S=(3+79)*20/2=820

b) a15=a1+14*r=2+14*4=2+56=58

S=(a1+a15)*15/2=(2+58)*15/2=60*15/2=30*15=450

It is the same formula for all  the exercises

S=(a1+an)*n/2 ,     where n is the number of terms

c) a40=30+39*(-3)=30-87=-57

So S=(30-57)*40/2=-540

d) a14=5+13*(-4)=5-52=-47

S=(5-47)*14/2=-42*14/2=-42*7=-294

e) it is 5+7+9+......+75

nr of  terms  = (an-a1) :r+1=(75-5):2+1=36

S=(5+75)*36/2=36*40=1440

f) ratio=7-4=3

the  same formula for n= (91-4):3+1=87:3+1=29+1=30

S=(4+91)*30/2=95*30/2=2850/2=1425

The three consecutive terms
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

<h3>1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an exponential sequence is expressed as ar^n-1

The nth term of a linear sequence is expressed as Tn = a + (n-1)d

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

Let the three consecutive terms  of an exponential sequence be a/r, a and ar

second term of a linear sequence = a +d

third term of a linear sequence = a + 2d

sixth term of a linear sequence = a + 5d

Now if the three consecutive terms  of an exponential sequence are  the second third and sixth terms  of a linear sequence, this is expressed as;

a/r = a + d ..... 1

a = a + 2d ..... 2

ar = a+ 5d .... 3

From 2: a = a + 2d

a-a= 2d

0 = 2d

d = 0/2

d = 0

Substitute d = 0 into equation 1:

From 1: a/r = a + d

a/r = a+0

a/r = a

Cross multiply

a = ar

a/a = r

1 = r

Rearrange

r = 1

<em>Hence the common ratio of the exponential sequence is 1</em>
